You know what, I’m not buying it.

I’m sorry, Mr. President. Teach me how to say good-bye.
It seemed like the DNC viewed it as “Cinton’s turn” that she had earned or something. BTW, it looks like your original response cautioning against calling them stupid was dismissed. As was predicted, not many are going to accept that maybe calling other voters stupid is a bad idea. For now, at least. I feel like…
Sometimes I feel like I’m crazy with the reaction this draws, but I understand the Trump voter’s reasoning, and it’s not illogical even if it is simplistic. In their mind, the system has failed them for decades. Democrats have run off to chase the black and latino votes while taking them for granted. Republicans have…
It’s really a simple concept that people will, of course, fail to accept. When you alienate people for a couple decades, and they then vote simply out of spite for the system, insulting them and continuing to alienate them is basically the worst idea I could think of.
Apparently. I don’t know what the deal is with “Drink after five o’clock!” but it’s a “thing.” Start early, and you can get more done!
We know how poorly Obama was treated during his campaign and ultimate presidencies. Now we know, a woman is worse. Now I’m wondering if I’ll ever see a woman president.
I would say pretty likely if you look at other Western countries that have seen women leaders get into the top job in their respective countries.
Tammy Duckworth is moving up quickly and she has what it takes. It’s not all lost.
That’s part of why I’m such a leaky faucet. Maybe it’s because seeing a #badbitch that was about to become president. Maybe it’s because someone who has consistently been a national joke just beat the most qualified person to be president.
Not even in the same universe. It’s actually almost funny to remember how important it felt at the time, because it was so utterly inconsequential compared to this.
Worse. There was no end of the world feeling to that election. It was just a regular Republican vs. Democrat election. The world thought we were dumb for voting Bush Jr in but they didn’t think we were evil like with Trump. The market didn’t tank. Other countries didn’t panic. All in all, it was meh, if you didn’t…
Oh no. Way worse. Nobody really knew W would be that bad. We see this train coming.
I think this feels less like 2000 than like 2004. The horror of George W Bush wasn’t as apparent in the wake of the 2000 election as it was in ‘04, so while Gore’s loss was upsetting it didn’t feel life-changing at the time. Meanwhile in 2004, I have clear memories of being drunk and rocking myself back and forth at…
Until 9/11, W seemed mostly harmless. A fucking idiot to be sure, but harmless.
I’ll offer this ray of hope. Probably won’t get out of the greys, but it’s worth saying.
I know. I love my husband and he’s a Hilary supporter, but I almost feel like I can’t even be around him right now.
Yeah, fuck everyone else, it’s not YOUR fault for choosing the most hated Democrat in the United States to be our candidate.
